McCartney Times

From Jackie’s website BeatleGuide.com:

“Hello, hello….I qualified as a Liverpool Tourist Guide & Official Beatlesguide in 1995 after two years intensive training. I am a Member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding (ITG) and have the highest credentials possible, BUT more importantly, I’m Liverpool born & bred, love my City, and love The Beatles as much as you do!

​There’s a place, where you can go…..

That place is Liverpool, England. Birthplace of The Beatles. My name is Jackie, I’ve been offering top quality guided tours in my fabulous city since 1995. I’ve been a professionally qualified Blue Badge guide since then and loved every minute. If you’re an avid Beatles fan planning the trip of a lifetime, then read on to see why my premium chauffeur driven tours are the toppermost of the poppermost – satisfaction guaranteed!!

There are now many choices for Liverpool tours, so I decided to step things up a notch from my original taxi tours and now operate Bespoke Beatles Tours in luxury executive vehicles, usually top of the range Mercedes . I don’t do the driving – I have lovely chauffeurs to do that so you have my full concentration. These tours really are the very best you can take, but I also offer walking tours, and fun days out on a double decker bus!

​

I have been recognised as a Beatles expert (to me I’m just a fan), and was chosen to work with Cirque Du Soleil when they researched the ‘Love’ show. I’ve also worked with many VIP’s and celebrities, advised film & television companies including MTV & VH1 and have appeared in several Beatles documentaries. Most recently has been the upcoming Stars North production, “Pre:Fab’, the life of Colin Hanton. I also collaborated with the wonderful Lush Spa as they created a Beatles themed treatment.

I can be heard regularly on Sirius Radio Beatles Channel talking about Liverpool Beatle Locations and was delighted when the producers of Carpool Karaoke featured my tweet on the most successful Paul McCartney edition. I’d love to think Paul OK’d that!

I regularly step-on the coaches of respected tour operators such as Contiki, Trafalgar and Insight Vacations – they only recognise professional Blue Badge Guides and can arrange entertaining itineraries for groups & tour operators ranging from 2 hours to 2 weeks using my previous travel agency experience. I’m terribly proud to have been featured in the Rick Steves guide books for many years.

MOST IMPORTANTLY……I love the Beatles as much as you do and am filled with pride for the wonderful town where WE were born (same hospital as Paul McCartney). I share their outlook, their optimism, their Scouse accent and their typical irreverent senser yumer (think about it!). I’d love to share OUR city with you. So if you’re an avid Beatles fan planning a pilgrimage to Liverpool, read on to see why my award winning tours are “toppermost of the poppermost!”. You’ve waited this long and are travelling this far…why not do it in style? “
